[WP] The US and China go to war, igniting World War III. You are a soldier in a Euro-American outpost. The radar picks up something. You worry, as you believe it could be a nuclear bombardment from orbit. You analyze the odd object, which appears neither NATO nor Eastern. You freeze in horror.	51
[WP] The Bible tells the truth. Humanity had an apocalyptic civil war 250,000 years ago among their millions of colonies: the "War in Heaven". The rebels were devolved biologically and deprived of technology: the "angels" that were "cast out". They were banished to "Hell": Earth.	50
[WP] In 2133, an expedition is sent to the Kuiper belt. You're one of the scientists, and you discover that the belt was never so dense naturally: there are thousands of alien telescopes directed at Earth, filling many gaps between asteroids. You're horrified as one of them turns towards your ship.	47
[WP] Humanity has always questioned their origin. With an empire spanning thousands of stars, the past has been forgotten. In your investigation to discern the origin, you buy a seemingly old and valueless object named "Voyager I".	43
[EU] (TWD) The entire Zombie Apocalypse was an experiment designed by the UN on an exoplanet to see how their colony would respond to a planet-wide plague. The colony failed the test and the incoming extermination fleet is the price they have to pay.	37
[WP] An alien civilization with an interstellar colonial empire reaches Earth. They state, "We have one demand. Let us sterilize the continent you call Australia and colonize it. Refuse and face annihilation." Humanity considers war. The bad news? Your family is on vacation in Sydney.	34
[ WP ] Write a story either about the first colonists arriving to North America or the first lightspeed colony ship arriving to an extrasolar colony planet. Make it (nearly) impossible to tell which.	34
[WP] You "die" at the age of 102. Immediately after death, you "wake up" and realize you're God. The Archangels, the strongest beings you created, all (except for one) plotted to kill you but only managed to cast you out. You plan on getting revenge. Your only ally? Lucifer.	30
[WP] You wake up in a weird room. You're confused, unaware of your location. You exit and find yourself many miles away from what appears to be a megacity. You wish to uncover your location, but you are clueless. Out of frustration, you look upwards. You finally have a clue, and you're horrified.	29
[ WP ] You're kidnapped and subsequently blindfolded. You are then placed in a room and remain there for what appears to be several hours. It seems as if your captors left, so you take your blindfold off. What you see is Earth, 50,000 km away.	29
